A method I have used with other aircraft is to put the tail lights on the rear of the airplane. I extend the "elevator lock" boards a couple of inches and mount the lights to those. This method necessitates running 3 wires to each light: tail, brake, and ground, but it has worked for me several times across several states with no tickets, so far. Another thing I have done is to mount a small amber strobe on the same boards and powering it form the tail light circuit.

The problem I see with this design is the tail of the Coupe extends at least 8 feet beyond the end of the trailer...sticking out in traffic. It the brake lights were mounted on the trailer, they would be hardly visible to traffic behind the rig. Does anyone have a good trailer design? I was thinking of a flatbed, like a snowmobile trailer. I would install uprights in the corners to suspend the wings. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
